The food truck man, Mr. Samolis, said he often gives free food to inmates who are released from Rikers with no money.

"They get released at 6 in the morning with nothing but a $2 MetroCard the jail gives them," he said. "So I'll give them a coffee and an egg sandwich, on credit. I know they're never going to pay it back, but I feel bad for them."
